The team won a full expense-paid trip by RWDC when they won over Guam, American Samoa, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia in February.

The five MHS students say goodbye to their parents early Thursday morning at the Saipan International Airport. All the parents wished their children well and made known that they are very proud of them for getting this far.

During their seven-hour layover in Japan, the CNMI Aeronautical Dolphins were still hard at work rehearsing their PowerPoint presentation on the Green Dolphinator, an energy-efficient light sport aircraft. The team spent over a hundred hours on their airplane design.

Activities in Washington, D.C. include monument tours, full-day competitions and presentations, a White House tour, and dinner.
